I had his arms tied up behind him
We were together all day
Maybe make Culiacán by sunset
Try to anyway
I don't know entirely what this song is about but it would seem that the narrator is some kind of drug addict ("blast off" "high as the clouds now") and he is driving to Culiacán in Mexico with somebody tied up in his car. I would be interested to hear John's influence for this song.
Actually it never specifies that the tied up person is in the car, in fact the narrator states that they were together all day but that could have happened before the narrator set off on his journey. In an interview on Pitchfork John said one of the songs is about murder so it could be this one; therefore the reason someone needs to mop the floors is perhaps because someone has been killed. There's not really enough information given to understand the full scenario, but it's one of those songs that totally gets under your skin.

I think this verse should be:

Thanks for the Culiacán correction, Erolsabadosh.
